US EditionGroups to Join Lawsuit Against Polis over Alleged ICE Cooperation
- Scott Moss, who leads Colorado’s Division of Labor Standards and Statistics, filed a lawsuit last week aiming to prevent Governor Jared Polis from complying with a subpoena issued by ICE.
- The subpoena requests personal details of 35 sponsors of unaccompanied immigrant minors, but Moss argues Polis' order to cooperate violates Colorado laws protecting such information.
- Polis signed Senate Bill 276 in May allowing state cooperation with federal law only for criminal investigations, and Polis claims the subpoena concerns child exploitation investigations.
- Labor unions Colorado WINS, AFL-CIO, and nonprofit Towards Justice joined the lawsuit Monday, criticizing Polis for potentially betraying immigrant communities and labor protections.
- Polis delayed compliance until a June 23 court hearing, asserting cooperation aims to prevent exploitation and trafficking of minors amid ongoing legal and political disputes.
